The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Some old D&D books 1ed to 3.5. Any interest?

I was clearing out my parents' garage and I came across some old books. It's come to a head and they're planning to move house. I'll be in the States when they do so I'm trying to find good homes for my stuff. So I was wondering if there's any interest in some pieces of gaming history?

I've got the following (incomplete list from memory, but if you're looking for something specific, let me know):

1ed Adventures: Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, Slaver Series, Against the Giants, Keep on the Borderlands, Secret of Bone Hill, Dungeonland and the Land Beyond the Magic Mirror, Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, Tomb of Horrors and a couple of others.

3rd/3.5 Ed: Pretty much the lot, but if there's a book you're interested in, let me know and I'll dig through it. Lots of Faerun too, but no Eberron.

It's lovely looking through the old books - and the old character sheets certainly bring back memories! But my folks are moving house and can no longer store my old books so they should go to a good home for any appropriate donation.

You know ... if nothing else, I have a large group of players who would love getting some of this stuff as a gift, to take a stroll down memory lane. How big a donation are you looking for and where would you mail this from? Since I'm in Europe, postage fees are an obvious drawback for me. But those old Monster Manuals and Fiend Folio, the Ravenloft stuff ... ahh, brings back memories for me too. Though I started DMing only with 2nd edition.
